Akagi Haruka doesn’t know a single thing about fantasy, video games or magic, and has no interest in learning about anything geeky. She’s blessed with plenty of normalities; a stable job, a decent apartment, a loyal cat, and novels – about the real world, thank you very much – for her to enjoy.
But when a night of drinking after a tough day of work has her waking up in a torchlit tomb, with an actual elf staring at her, she can't blame a hangover when faced with the truth: she’s ended up in a fantastical new world, with no idea what’s going on.
To make matters worse, the denizens of this new place are claiming that she’s Eluin, the long-dead heroine of Tor Reuna, slayer of the Demon Prince Lugaz half a millennium ago.
But Lugaz’s forces are coming out of their five-century slumber. War is on the horizon once again, and there is only one person who can destroy the Prince for good this time – her.
Yeah… no. That’s not happening. Not if Haruka has anything to say about it.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my novel! This is a submission for the MyAnimeList x Honeyfeed Writing Contest 2025 - THE ISEKAI presented by KADOKAWA.
This is my first attempt creating 1) a web novel and 2) an isekai story, so I hope I do the themes and format justice. I've done my best at blending my personal style with the more popular light novel trend, and I sincerely hope you enjoy reading it.
This is also my first time uploading anything on a chapter-by-chapter basis, so I may go back and make small edits as I go to remedy any inconsistencies. Content warnings (below) will also be continually updated as needed. All feedback is encouraged, welcomed and appreciated.
Current update schedule will be attempts at daily uploads until complete, to align with the contest deadline.
